Co-operation negotiating periods

An employer must give five days’ notice of the start of YT negotiations arising from a proposal to dismiss, lay off or reduce the regular working hours of employees.

Unless otherwise agreed, or in the case of layoffs of more than 90 days, YT negotiations must continue for at least six weeks if the proposed measures affect ten or more employees.

The negotiating period is always 14 days in enterprises employing between 20 and 29 people.
